Why It’s Important to Make a Will

Making a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and secure your estate. A properly drafted will ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and that your family is looked after when you are no longer able to provide for them.

Benefits of Making a Will

Creating a will allows you to:

  • Decide who will (and will not) benefit from your estate.
  • Appoint guardians for children under 18.
  • Ensure your partner is provided for, particularly if you are unmarried.
  • Protect the interests of children from previous relationships with clear provisions.
  • Include specific conditions or restrictions on gifts.
  • Plan for inheritance tax, helping preserve wealth for future generations.
  • Protect your assets against potential care home costs through strategic planning.
  • Specify your funeral wishes, ensuring your preferences are respected.

Having a will gives you peace of mind, knowing that your wishes are legally protected and your loved ones are cared for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wills

  • What happens if I die without a Will?

    If you die without a valid will, your estate will be distributed according to the Intestacy Rules. These rules may not reflect your wishes – for example, unmarried partners and stepchildren do not automatically inherit. Having a will prevents complications and distress for your loved ones.

  • Can I write my own Will?

    While it is possible to write your own Will, mistakes or unclear wording can make it invalid or lead to disputes after your death. Having your Will prepared by us ensures it is legally valid, clearly written, and reflects your intentions.

  • How often should I review my Will?

    It’s recommended to review your will every few years or whenever your circumstances change – such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant asset changes.

  • Can I change my Will after it’s been signed?

    Yes. You can update your will at any time while you have mental capacity. Small changes can be made using a codicil, but for major updates, it’s best to create a new will.

  • Where should I keep my Will?

    Your original Will should be kept in a safe, secure location and your executors should know where to find it. At Andrew Isaacs Law, we offer free secure storage for as long as you wish.

  • Who should be my executor?

    Your executor is the person (or people) responsible for carrying out the terms of your Will. You can appoint a trusted family member, friend, or a professional such as a solicitor.

  • Can you help with inheritance tax planning?

    Yes. Our team can advise on inheritance tax and structure your will to minimise tax liability, ensuring your estate is protected for future generations.
